Damn, rough sledding, but (spoiler free) I'd take those results, for sure! These have been a really fun listen and a pretty cool thought exercise. Looking forward to the next one.

First two picks are home runs imo

The 3rd pick I think is a real gamble

If you guys walk away from Martinez or Thornton you will ruin a great draft so far lol

Gotta grab Martinez first

And JFC you gotta grab a run stuff capable NT if you wanna turn Walker loose lol

I like KeAndre Lambert later too

Since we're no longer worried about spoilers, gamble because of the player, or gamble for not grabbing Martinez and leaving it to chance? Or a little of both?

I’d feel better about his prospects if I thought we were gonna have great OLBs soon

Great job overall, guys, under some crazy (the two straight picks of Wesley Snipes) and funny (no NFL war room out there dealing with needing to perform dad duties in r5) circumstances. Really did have an "inside the room" feel to the broadcasts.

I could just about guarantee there are more than a fair share of family crises during the draft. There's usually a correlation between those and parents' stress level.

Yeah, probably more than a few all nighters pulled in the days and weeks leaning up. Hopefully Korey's were more of the shuffling to and from practice sort.

And I just hear that Jeremy had his own things going on... and I have had three of the busiest work weeks imaginable. Let's just say it was a miracle we did any of that!

There are some honest to goodness "professionals" on the South Side that very likely didn't put the work into all of this that you guys did. Much appreciated, as always. Mentioned it in another post, but a really unique look into the process vs. going against a simulation. Seemed like the situation added some emotion to the process (particularly on night two) that wouldn't have been there otherwise.

Yep. I can't imagine doing it any other way from here on out.
